This is a great recipe for a Brownie Crackle Cookie. It tastes like a dream--a fudgy, soft inside, and a powdery-sugared crusty outside--and they are sure to be a hit. A friend gave me this recipe several years ago, and it's a long-time favorite with our family. This recipe makes a lot--so you'll have plenty to share or freeze. They look especially nice with 4-6 stacked in a clear cellophane bag, with little white paper doilies in between each cookie, tied with a big pink and red ribbon...a beautiful and tasty gift for your Valentine!

1 cup shortening
3 1/3 cups sugar
4 teaspoons vanilla

4 cups flour
1 cup cocoa
4 teaspoons baking powder

Cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla and blend well. Add dry ingredients alternately with the milk, stirring until completely blended. Roll into walnut-sized balls and roll in powdered sugar. Place on UNGREASED cookie sheet and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 8-10 minutes. DO NOT OVERBAKE! Cool on racks. These make a lot and they freeze well.
